Photography

Although I would not say that I am a professional photographer but due to my craze of traveling I usually make sure that am out of my home every 2 months and eventhough the place chosen is in 400-500 radius from Delhi some times it becomes a long drive too. Yeah I like to drive and when I plan my trips I usually make sure that I drive to that place instead of hiring a cab or taking any other mode of transport unless it is too far or not accessible by road. I have made it a habit since I got my first job 9 years before and still have been following it religiously. Due to this nature of mine I end up travelling 4-5 times in a year. And not to say wherever I go I take lots of photographs thanks now to the Digital revolution one can not worry about the cost involved in Developing and printing that had earlier made photography a costly hobby.

Now with the uncertain economy and Job losses happening globally I been lately thinking of alternative professions I can do and taking up photography as a profession is also an option I have been looking into. I just wonder how those photojournalist are recruited in reputed places like Discovery, National Geography, etc.,

Would I need a degree in media and journalism to make my move towards this career. I would love to hear more on this from anyone who knows about it. (Please do comment if you have any suggestions)

A Year to forget

Year 2020 came in silently into our life like a serial killer, no one would ever suspected what it had to offer. If you survive this medically, mentally or monetarily you should be happy. 2020 has hit everyone like a tsunami, and only a few will make it alive to remember this.   It has been only 6 months of 2020 yet the causality are very high. Like any other year it started with a New year well celebrated across the world, however the happiness was destined to last only a few days when the first few cases of corona were recorded in the Far East. It did not take long for this to spread across. Even those who thought this would be yet another flu that will be eventually cured and will not affect them had to change their mind when it gradually spread in Italy, Europe and the US. All the initial theories that it will slow down when the temperature soars also fell flat when the fatalities and people affected kept growing in numbers.   To a generation who are used to the mad rush and runnin

The Repatriation Ordeal In Corona Times

Image
The ordeal While we all are in forced lockdown without being able to travel and this can be frustrating, however believe me when I say traveling at these times is even more frustrating.  (photo for representation only) While I was happy to secure a flight home through "Vande Bharat Mission" repatriation flight after loosing my job in Dubai I was not really ready for the ordeal that was to come. The AirIndia Express flight to Chennai was at 1150hrs on 1st July. I have been one of the lucky few to get a ticket home in the 4th phase of Vande Bharat mission from Dubai to Chennai. In normal times a 2hrs or 3hrs pre arrival at airport would have been sufficient.  However these are different times and we came 5hrs before expecting too many formalities. The arrangement at Dubai terminal 2 was adequate. Social distancing well maintained with chairs spaced for seating, An initial rapid test conducted and a sticker on passport mentioning “FIT TO FLY” After this we were directed to check

Top 10 Cloud Vendors

I came across this blog post by Peter Laird ( Blog link ) which I found to be an interesting way to rank the cloud vendors but since this list had been prepared almost 2 years before, I decided to give it a shot now to see how the ranking had changed over time. Based on the methodology used by Peter I did the following : Cleared all browser cookies Ensured I was logged out of Google (to avoid personalized results ) Navigated to the www.google.com search page Typed “cloud computing” in the search box However unlike Peter I did not browse through all the pages but restricted my ranking until I found 10 vendors. The result is as follows. From the search results scrubbed off all non vendors and then collected the first occurrence of each of the following vendors. Page Rank Vendor URL 1 1 Salesforce http://www.salesforce.com
